Very interesting reflection on his life at sea with some surprising comments. - for example if a second build opportunity arose he would have reduced Joshua from 40 ft to 32 ft "plenty of boat for 2 people" His choice of optimum ground tackle would differ from most people i would think. Great man good book
'The Logical Route' is fantastic. Agree about suprising comments. He felt that his yacht shouldn't be lit because it should be for the yacht to avoid the ship. It's actually a view I have some sympathy for. (Not enough to actually turn my nav lights of though!)
Great writer, great man.
...depending on your definition of 'round the world non-stop' he was first man to sail alone round the world non-stop.
